Royal Family

[Sickofrunning]

So sorry I can't use the vote (haven't a clue how to do it)
The questions is clear.. A simple yes or no..... After the Queen dies should the Royal Family continue... Yes or no!

Yes

Not a royalist myself but I think it will continue in a more slimmed down capacity. I don’t think Charles will be king, but have a feeling the crown will go to William, who will be instrumental in carrying out a much-needed modernisation of the institution.

Charles will be king, he's been waiting his whole life so isn't going to pass up the opportunity for the crown. The Queen is 95 so realistically he's going to be King sooner rather than later.

No. Not that we get to choose.

Yes keep the royals.

I don't want a president Trump or Sturgeon instead.

I just can't imagine Prince Charles persuading Brits to gird their loins in a time of crisis. The Queen has that stalwart spirit, or can project it, and her Corona speeches had a certain regal flintiness that I can't see Charles - or for that matter Boris - emulating.

It'll probably be a case of monarchy-lite if/when Charles becomes king.

I think the process should begin now, as it’s quite lengthy, but ultimately I believe enough people would prefer to keep them and they are likely to stay (for a while at any rate).

I know Charles is chomping at the bit to be king, but I just can’t see it happening— this is based on nothing more than a wotIreckon gut feeling, mind you.

Good riddance.

Yes

No

Yes

Are you talking about the Royal family or the monarchy?

If we have learnt anything from Brexit, it's that an alternative needs to be in place before anyone starts deciding to do away with things. We would still need a head of state who would need to have roles and responsibilities and there are a lot of different ways of doing this, one of which is a monarch. The Head of State would still need some where to live, police protection, etc etc They would also need a defined role.

I think there is a lot of confusion around about what the monarch actually is and how that is different from the Royal family.

No we should be a democratic Republic - no royals, no titles and an elected second chamber. Won't happen but should.

No. Waste of time and money, dont add anything to the life of the country except to act as a diversion from time to time.

No.

Could have an elected head of state like Ireland.

Simon Cowell could organise a 'Rex Factor' contest. Louis Walsh could be there to say 'You made that royal wave your own' and 'You were born to be a Queen'.

An opportunity for gossip and diversion in these difficult times?

No Boris is already acting as a dictator can you imagine if he had even more power. As far as Prince Charles is concerned it is his birthright, he has some positive ideas ok William and Kate would be a more attractive choice but we have no real idea how he would reign.

@LakieLady

No.

I want to be a citizen, not a subject.

You have been a citizen since 1983

@OutwiththeOutCrowd
